The Difference between the Righteous and the Wicked

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #Ic (1785) First Line: Happy the man, whose cautious feet Lyrics: 1 Happy the man, whose cautious feet Shun the broad way that sinners go, Who hates the place where Atheists meet, And fears to talk as scoffers do. 2 He loves t' employ his morning-light Among the statutes of the Lord; And spends the wakeful hours of night, With pleasure pond'ring o'er the word. 3 He, like a plant by gentle streams, Shall flourish in immortal green; And heaven will shine with kindest beams, On ev'ry work his hands begin. 4 But sinners find their counsels cross'd; As chaff before the tempest flies; So shall their hopes be blown and lost, When the last trumpet shakes the skies. 5 In vain the rebel seeks to stand In judgment with the pious race; The dreadful Judge with stern command Divides him to a different place. 6 "Strait is the way my saints have trod, "I bless'd the path, and drew it plain; "But you would chuse the crooked road; "And down it leads to endless pain. Scripture: Psalm 1 Languages: English

Pause. 6 Now he's ascended high, To rule the subject earth; The merit of his blood he pleads, And pleads his heav'nly birth. 7 Beneath his sovereign sway The Gentile nations bend; Far as the world's remotest bounds, His kingdom shall extend. 8 The nations that rebel, Must feel his iron rod; He'll vindicate those honours well Which he receiv'd from God. 9 [Be wise, ye rulers, now, And worship at his throne; With trembling joy, ye people bow, To God's exalted Son. 10 If once his wrath arise, Ye perish on the place; Then blessed is the soul that flies For refuge to his grace.] Scripture: Psalm 2 Languages: English

Why did the nations join to stay

Hymnal: DWIP1785 #IIb (1785) Lyrics: 1 Why did the nations join to slay The Lord’s anointed Son?

Pause. 8 Now, ye that sit on earthly thrones, Be wise, and serve the Lord the Lamb: Now to his feet submit your crowns, Rejoice and tremble at his name. 9 With humble love address the Son, Lest he grow angry, and ye die; His wrath will burn to worlds unknown, His love gives life above the sky. 10 His storms shall quell the stubborn foe, And sink his honours in the dust: Happy the souls, their God that know, And make his grace their only trust.
